Product description

Review

This collection is a very welcome addition. It is remarkable for the breadth of issues discussed and the diversity of positions represented. Throughout, the selections have been chosen with a keen eye for excellence and accessibility. Taken together, they provide a vivid panorama of ethical theory today.
Peter Railton, University of Michigan

It is a wonderfully comprehensive collection that manages to bring together well–chosen papers on a number of significant areas in moral theory.
Geoff Sayre–McCord, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

From the Back Cover

Ethical Theory is an authoritative collection of key essays that address the central questions of morality. Its broad scope includes coverage of metaethics, normative ethics, and practical ethics. Seventy–six classic and contemporary pieces raise questions about the status and rational authority of morality, and guide students through key areas in the field, among which are consequentialism, deontology, contractarianism, and virtue ethics. This anthology reaches beyond traditional texts by also including important, but usually underrepresented, topics such as moral knowledge, moral standing, moral responsibility, and ethical particularism.

The essays are by some of the best–known and most–respected names in ethical theory; each part is introduced with expert and judicious commentary by the editor. Ethical Theory will reward its readers with guidance through the question at the heart of ethics: that of how best to live.

5.0 out of 5 stars Review of literary material in Russ Shafer-Landau's book "Ethical Theory: An Anthology"
Reviewed in the United States on 18 May 2013

This book is just what I was looking for in terms of ethical theory in anthology form, which I why I ordered two copies of it, one for myself and one for a friend. If cheaper copies continue to be available, I can see myself ordering another copy for my brother, who teaches ethics in a small college, and who has borrowed my copy to prep for his classes next fall. While I had hoped he would ask his students to use it for a textbook and he says he doesn't think this is feasible, he will probably find some of the essays helpful nevertheless; of the works in it which are ones I am familiar with, I think it is an excellent selection, and I can't wait to get my copy back so as to read the works I'm unfamiliar with as well.

Reviewed in the United States on 8 June 2011

This anthology of papers and articles on Ethical Theory published by Blackwell is excellent. A wide variety of viewpoints are examined, and each section (The Status of Morality, Moral Knowledge, Why Be Moral?, Ethics and Religion, Value, Moral Responsibility, Moral Standing, Consequentialism, Deontology, Contractarianism, Virtue Ethics, Prima Facie Duties and Particularism) is prefaced by an introduction to the topic of that section, but also summaries of each of the works contained therein. Arguments and counter-arguments to each piece are outlined here as well. I bought this book for a class, but I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in Ethical Theory as a philosophical field.

I bought this book for my ethics class, and it was a good buy. It shipped by the due date, although it took a little longer than I expected, especially because I live in the same state, a few hours away. Nonetheless, it's a great book, it came exactly in the condition the seller said it would, and it's a must have for any ethics class!
